In the palmy days of the oil excileinenl

tbo Humboldt did an immense husttwas, al
fording remunerative employment to numer
ous men and teams. The entire works were
oi the most expensive description, and tbe

legs and costly appurtenances bava-fornain-i'd
unwed and desorted, gradually succumb

destroying band of lime. Tbe place Is now

Rojst and a hundred miles from anywhere
else." Tbe robbers were two In number
and their facet were masked. They made
tbe attack, as usual, at one or tbe worst

told, -were lirad at tbe driver, and Wells,

outside ol'tbf eoach. The lormtr, Charles

uninjured, and, seizing tbe reins from tbe
grasp of Ihe dying man, put whip to the
team and escaped to the station. 'The

tbe coach tooling south, which should have
